Getting your aid workers into Myanmar is not even half the battle, as international relief teams have been telling us for over a week. Is this new supposed "deal" a genuine breakthrough? CNN reports:

Details of the decision were not immediately clear, though a government official familiar with the decision said Myanmar will not allow foreign boats or helicopters into the country.

Any deal that did not discuss "boats or helicopters" is a sham -- a complete and utter disgrace. Worse, it's a mere propaganda ploy by the junta. Because without boats or helicopters, you cannot reach the victims.
